No change as of yet for the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office, which is at critical staffing, as employees leave for higher, less demanding jobs.
During last week’s Board of Supervisors meeting, District Attorney David Hollister warned they “are starting to see some cracks in the armor.” Hollister offered his support for the Sheriff and his request for increased wages. Also adding he believes the supervisors are working on the situation yet urged the board to make it a priority.
The Plumas Sheriff’s office has been down to a single two-person patrol unit since late January and has been operating with minimal dispatchers, with Sheriff Johns stepping into the role himself to fill vacancies. The Sheriff says there are currently 20 spots to fill and is desperately urging the board for funding.
The supervisors will meet next month on April 4th at 10 am in their chambers at the Quincy Courthouse.
